Abstract: 27,955. Thompson, W. P., [Wigginton, G. P.]. Nov. 30. Flexible-band files; clamping - devices, - In loose-leaf books of the kind in which the sheets 9 are threaded on binding-thongs 4, which pass through clamping-bars 8 and are attached to one cover, the binding-thongs are adjustably secured to the other cover by means of a securing-member 14, which is attached to the thongs, and which engages slotted bars 13 secured to the cover. The securing-member 14 is formed with offset tongues 15, which are engaged with the sides of the bars 13, and then the member 14 is pressed down to tighten the thongs by a lever action. A slide 17, Fig. 3, may be provided to lock the parts in engagement; the inner end of the slide engages the cover 1 and prevents the securing-member from tilting, unless the slide is withdrawn, until its point of contact with the cover is in line with the points at which the tongues 15 engage the racks. In a modification, each thong is fitted with its own securing-member 14, a pair of bars 13 being provided for each thong, and the locking-device consists of a bar pivoted to the securing-member. In another modification, the thongs are attached to a cross-bar provided in the centre with a short thong fitted with a similar securing-member, which is held in engagement by a loop sliding over an extension of the securing-member. Covers.-The clamping-bars 8, Fig. 2, of sheet metal are provided with reinforcing-strips 11 and have a roll 10 at their rear edges to form bearings for the inner curved ends 7 of the covers.

Title: Improvements in Smoke Consuming and Preventing, and Fuel Economizing Apparatus for Furnaces and the like.
Inventor: CLARKE EDWARD FUHRMANN
Filed: 1912-02-21
Granted: 1913-02-06
Abstract: 4312. Clarke, E. F. Feb. 21. Air supply, regulating.-Relates to smoke consuming and preventing and fuel-economizing devices for furnaces &c., of the kind in which the movement of the fire-door controls the supply of air therethrough. The openings a in the door are in the form of slots passing through the door and surrounded with inclined projecting rims, and the closing flaps c are so disposed that they are held closed by gravity. An arm m, operatively connected with the flaps c, carries a roller n engaging a cam o, which is fixed on a shaft p in alinement with the door hinge and which tends to turn under the action of a weight u or spring in the closing direction of the door. On the upper end of the shaft p is fixed a disk w. Figs. 5 and 6, carrying a pawl x engaging a ratchet-wheel y connected through multiplying-gear with a fan 12. The fan and gear are enclosed in a dust-proof casing 10. On opening the door, the flaps c remain closed, since the cam turns with the door owing to the engagement of a stop s on the hinge with a stop r on the cam. On closing the door, the cam o is retained in its new position by the engagement of the pawl x with the fantrain, and the roller n thus rides up the cam and lifts the flaps c. The fan 12 is preferably of the centrifugal type, and the period during which the cam returns to its original position, in which the flaps are closed, is adjusted by controlling the air inlet to or the air outlet from the fan. To render the period of air supply independent of the amount of opening of the fire-door, a fixed rib 19 is provided concentric with the shaft p and adapted to render the pawl x inoperative for that portion of the angular movement of the door in excess of a predetermined amount. The weight u is connected to a fire-bridge air-supply damper which thus opens with the fire-door and closes with the flaps c. A deflector 22 inside the door deflects the entering air downwards.

Abstract: 3295. Paindavoine, P. H. J. Feb. 8. Double - acting bucket pumps; delivery column, balancing.-Relates to a bucket pump with two units in a common casing, each unit having a two-diameter piston. A passage connects the parts of the cylinders above the pistons, and ports in the piston connect the common delivery chamber to the upper ends of the cylinders.
